Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Business writer Alessandra and Hunsaker (business, Univ. of San Diego) here explore interpersonal verbal, nonverbal, group, and written communication, especially in the workplace. They discuss the importance of the many forms, using examples, alternatives, and checklists for each. Styles of personal communication are covered in detail, as are listening and questioning. This book is for anyone who wishes to learn how the communication processes can affect relations in the workplace or just about any situation. The style and format are simple, direct, and well organized for referral. There are many books available on this subject, e.g., Allan D. Frank's Communicating on the Job (1981) and Phillip G. Clampitt's Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness (Sage, 1991), but this one is well written and should be available in all corporate and public libraries.

I LOVE this book. I learned a ton about how to communicate with bosses and co-workers that I still use today, and find it so valuable that I lend it out quite frequently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent range of material covered, July 31, 2001

This review is from: Communicating at Work (Paperback)
Tony has done a great job simplifying complex tools to enhance communication. "Communicating at Work" is the type of book that you buy extra copies to give to people you know. It will also become a resource for ongoing reference as you sharpen your skills. Great Job Tony!

4.0 out of 5 stars JIM'S REVIEW, October 14, 2007
This review is from: Communicating at Work (Paperback)
Communicating at Work was a well written, easy to read, and easy to understand book. Authors Tony Alessandra and Phil Hunsaker give a lot of useful information that an employee at level of an organization would find useful and helpful. There is a lot of information in this book that I found will be key to my sucessful employment. I would recommend employers utilize this book as a tool to the development of their employees and business. The only flaw I believe with this book is that it was written in 1993 so some of the material and example seem to be a little dated.
